The Diff Match and Patch libraries offer robust algorithms to perform the operations required for synchronizing plain 

text:

* computes character-based diff of two texts

* performs fuzzy match of given string

* applies a list of patches.

This is the port of Google's [diff-match-patch](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch) library to PHP.

## Diff

Compare two plain text and efficiently return a array of differences. It works with characters, but if you want 

to compute word-based or line-based diff — you can easily 

[tune](https://web.archive.org/web/20160110201643/https://code.google.com/p/google-diff-match-patch/wiki/LineOrWordDiffs) 

it for your needs.

Usage:

```php

diff_main($text1, $text2, false);

var_dump($diffs);

```

Returns:

```php

array(

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_EQUAL, "Th"),

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_DELETE, "e"),

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_INSERT, "at"),

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_EQUAL, " quick brown fox jump"),

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_DELETE, "s"),

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_INSERT, "ed"),

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_EQUAL, " over "),

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_DELETE, "the"),

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_INSERT, "a"),

    array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_EQUAL, " lazy dog."),

)

```

[Demo](http://neil.fraser.name/software/diff_match_patch/svn/trunk/demos/demo_diff.html)

## Match

Given a search string, find its best fuzzy match in a plain text near the given location. Weighted for both accuracy 

and location.

Usage:

```php

match_main($text, "fox", 0); // Returns 16

$pos = $dmp->match_main($text, "fox", 40); // Returns 40

$pos = $dmp->match_main($text, "jmps"); // Returns 20

$pos = $dmp->match_main($text, "jmped"); // Returns -1

$pos = $dmp->Match_Threshold = 0.7;

$pos = $dmp->match_main($text, "jmped"); // Returns 20

```

[Demo](http://neil.fraser.name/software/diff_match_patch/svn/trunk/demos/demo_diff.html)

## Patch

Apply a list of patches in 

[Unidiff-like format](https://web.archive.org/web/20161002083301/https://code.google.com/p/google-diff-match-patch/wiki/Unidiff) 

onto plain text. Use best-effort to apply patch even when the underlying text doesn't match.

Usage:

```php

patch_make("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.", "That quick brown fox jumped over a lazy dog.");

// @@ -1,11 +1,12 @@

//  Th

// -e

// +at

//   quick b

// @@ -22,18 +22,17 @@

//  jump

// -s

// +ed

//   over

// -the

// +a

//   laz

$result = $dmp->patch_apply($patches, "The quick red rabbit jumps over the tired tiger.");

var_dump($result);

```

Returns:

```php

array(

    "That quick red rabbit jumped over a tired tiger.",

    array (

        true,

        true,

    ),

);

```

## API

Currently this library available in:

 * PHP

 * [C++](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Cpp)

 * [C#](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-C%23)

 * [Dart](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Dart)

 * [Java](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Java)

 * [JavaScript](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-JavaScript)

 * [Lua](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Lua)

 * [Objective-C](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Objective-C)

 * [Python](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Python)

Regardless of language, each library uses the same 

[API](https://web.archive.org/web/20160922004754/https://code.google.com/p/google-diff-match-patch/wiki/API) 

and the same functionality.

## Algorithms

This library implements [Myer's diff algorithm](http://neil.fraser.name/software/diff_match_patch/myers.pdf) which is 

generally considered to be the best general-purpose diff. A layer of 

[pre-diff speedups and post-diff cleanups](http://neil.fraser.name/writing/diff/) surround the diff algorithm, improving 

both performance and output quality.

This library also implements a [Bitap matching algorithm](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitap_algorithm) at the heart 

of a flexible [matching and patching strategy](http://neil.fraser.name/writing/patch/).

## Requirements

* PHP 7.3+

* [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/)
